Question

I would like to split my string when there is a new line (<br />) followed by a digit.

For example:

"aaaaaa<br />1 asdsad"      // should be split
"bbbbbb<br />dfffgdft"      // should not be split
"cccccc<br />2 asdasd"      // should be split

etc…

Thank you very much for your help

Answer 1

string = string.split(/<br\s*\/?>(?=\d)/);

I’ve used \s* instead of a space, and made the / optional, so that it also allows <br>, <br/> etc. (?=\d) is a look-ahead, which produces a valid match only if the following characters are matched.
